I was a bit bummed to see the news that Syfy has decided not to pick up Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome to series.

“Though the vision for “Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome” has evolved over the course of the past year, our enthusiasm for this ambitious project has not waned,” Syfy's president of original programming Mark Stern said in a statement. “We are actively pursuing it as was originally intended: a groundbreaking digital series that will launch to audiences beyond the scope of a television screen. The 90-minute pilot movie will air on Syfy in its entirety at a future date.”

Despite the "limited scope" of the television screen, TV is still where the big advertising dollars are and I can't really see how the economics will work out, unless someone like Netflix steps in, so this sounds like the sort of inevitable "being shopped to other networks" talk when TV shows are canceled. As a BSG fan, I hope I'm wrong...at least until I've seen the pilot!
